Can't believe I'm going to say this...... but I agree with Rudey.
I can say this, b/c I feel if I were in the same boat - the first thing I'd want to do is say "well, at least I was honest...." But that whole situation might draw in more trouble than its worth.
I would save that option for last. Not saying I wouldn't do it, but save it for last resort.
My first option would be to talk to him, show him examples of how you studied. I.E - examples, notes, note cards, highlighted points of study, etc. If he looks at you and says he's sorry he can not help you....then I would look into your other options. Just make sure and keep your cool!
My class that I'm having trouble in is a class of 400 students + , so when I had trouble on a test and needed a "how did i do bad on this test?" talk I had to first go through one TA, then another, and next week is my Prof. So I'm glad you only have to go through one person, instead of 4.
But I wish you luck!!!! And hopefully everything will work out okay. Its very easy for some people, me included, to completely know the material and then blank once you see that test paper. Especially since you had soooo much going on that week!! But keep a positive attitude and know that you are not alone!!
